Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 October 2018
86. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform his views on the fact that works being carried out under the measured term maintenance contract for Dublin city and county, operated by the Office of Public Works, is breaching the contract on a continued and repeated basis, particularly by undertaking works outside the Dublin and city area and by engaging in projects beyond the limit of €500,000. [42704/18]
View answerThe Office of Public Works does not use the Measured Term Maintenance Contract for undertaking works outside the Dublin and city area and engaging in projects beyond the limit of €500,000 on a continued and repeated basis. However, the Measured Term Maintenance Contract has been used outside of the OPW Dublin Regional Maintenance Area on one occasion. In a relatively small number of projects the €500,000 limit has been exceeded, these being on an exceptional basis to address emergency situations and extraordinary circumstances.
